This was the original concept behind the Matrix, but ‘90s studio execs thought the average person wouldn’t understand and made the humans just be “batteries” instead which makes much less sense.
- yed 4y agoDo you have a reference for this? In interviews I read the Wachowskis defended the whole “batteries” explanation, which lessened my opinion of them.

- nextaccountic 4y agoI repeated this in HN too, someone asked for a source and I found out this appears to be false https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35069121 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35069121 Anyway this will remain in my headcanon, simply because the whole thing makes no sense otherwise
